Had exhaust checked today, everything fine but lots of water/condensation. Looking more like liner or h/gasket. only thing being, i havent been losing coolant or not that ive noticed. -- Message posted via CarKB.com http://www.carkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/uk-car-maintenance/200706/1

The K series only contains about 3.5 - 4litres of water -i.e.very little- you will soon notice the header tank dropping if you have a even a small leak (as long as its not being replaced with oil!) Sounds like your garage is fairly incompetant and / or knows nothing about the infamous K series. Could be time to find another or at least explain to them your patience is running low.. Tim..
